Abstract
Development of rapid colorimetric methods based on novel optical-active metal nanomaterials has provided methods for the detection of ions, biomarkers, cancers, etc. Fluorescent metal nanoclusters (FMNCs) have gained a lot of attention due to their unique physical, chemical, and optical properties providing numerous applications from rapid and sensitive detection to cellular imaging. However, because of very small color changes, their colorimetric applications for developing rapid tests based on the naked eye or simple UV-vis absorption spectrophotometry are still limited. FMNCs with peroxidase-like activity have significant potential in a wide variety of applications, especially for point-of-care diagnostics. In this review, the effect of using various capping agents and metals for the preparation of nanoclusters in their colorimetric sensing properties is explored, and the synthesis and detection mechanisms and the recent advances in their application for ultrasensitive chemical and biological analysis regarding human health are highlighted. Finally, the challenges that remain as well as the future perspectives are briefly discussed. Overcoming these limitations will allow us to expand the nanocluster's application for colorimetric diagnostic purposes in medical practice.

Abstract
Food contaminants present a significant threat to public health. In response to escalating global concerns regarding food safety, there is a growing demand for straightforward, rapid, and sensitive detection technologies. Noble metal nanoclusters (NMNCs) have garnered considerable attention due to their superior attributes compared to other optical materials. These attributes include high catalytic activity, excellent biocompatibility, and outstanding photoluminescence properties. These features render NMNCs promising candidates for crafting nanosensors for food contaminant detection, offering the potential for the development of uncomplicated, swift, sensitive, user-friendly, and cost-effective detection approaches. This review investigates optical nanosensors based on NMNCs, including the synthesis methodologies of NMNCs, sensing strategies, and their applications in detecting food contaminants. Furthermore, it involves a comparative assessment of the applications of NMNCs in optical sensing and their performance. Ultimately, this paper imparts fresh perspectives on the forthcoming challenges. Hitherto, optical (particularly fluorescent) nanosensors founded on NMNCs have demonstrated exceptional sensing capabilities in the realm of food contaminant detection. To enhance sensing performance, future research should prioritize atomically precise NMNCs synthesis, augmentation of catalytic activity and optical properties, development of high-throughput and multimode sensing, integration of NMNCs with microfluidic devices, and the optimization of NMNCs storage, shelf life, and transportation conditions.

A simple smartphone-assisted paper-based colorimetric biosensor for the detection of urea adulteration in milk based on an environment-friendly pH-sensitive nanocomposite.

Abstract
Urea is a common milk adulterant that falsely increases its protein content. Excessive consumption of urea is harmful to the kidney, liver, and gastrointestinal system. The conventional methods for urea detection in milk are time-consuming, costly, and require highly skilled operators. So, there is an increasing demand for the development of rapid, convenient, and cost-efficient methods for the detection of urea adulteration in milk. Herein, we report a novel colorimetric paper-based urea biosensor, consisting of a novel environment-friendly nanocomposite of halloysite nanotubes (HNT), that urease enzyme and an anthocyanin-rich extract, as a natural pH indicator are simultaneously immobilized into its internal and external surfaces. The biosensing mechanism of this biosensor is based on anthocyanin color change, which occurs due to urease-mediated hydrolysis of urea and pH increment of the environment. The colorimetric signal of this biosensor is measured through smartphone-assisted analysis of the mean RGB (Red-Green-Blue) intensity of samples and is capable of detecting urea with a detection limit of 0.2 mM, and a linear range from 0.5 to 100 mM. This biosensor has demonstrated promising results for the detection of urea in milk samples, in the presence of other milk adulterants and interferents.

Abstract
Recent decades have witnessed the rapid progress of nanozymes and their high promising applications in catalysis and bioclinics. However, the comprehensive synthetic procedures and harsh synthetic conditions represent significant challenges for nanozymes. In this study, monodisperse, ultrasmall gold clusters with peroxidase-like activity were prepared via a simple and robust one-pot method. The reaction of clusters with H2O2 and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) followed the Michaelis-Menton kinetics. In addition, in vitro experiments showed that the prepared clusters had good biocompatibility and cell imaging ability, indicating their future potential as multi-functional materials.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system. The pathogenesis is still not fully clear. One of the main histopathological manifestations is senile plaques formed by β-amyloid (Aβ) accumulation. Aβ is generated from the sequential proteolysis of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β-secretase [i.e. β-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1)] and γ-secretase, with a rate-limiting step controlled by BACE1 activity. Therefore, inhibiting BACE1 activity has become a potential therapeutic strategy for AD. The development of reliable detection methods for BACE1 activity plays an important role in early diagnosis of AD and evaluation of the therapeutic effect of new drugs for AD. This article has reviewed the recent advances in BACE1 activity detection techniques. The challenges of applying these analysis techniques to early clinical diagnosis of AD and development trends of the detection techniques have been prospected.
